#124212 - Isn't this whole thing rather silly? Responding to: ???'s previous message |
The FIRST thing I do after constructing a circuit is to verify proper power and ground connections. In fact, I connect power and ground early in the process and verify their integrity before any additional signals are connected. After the circuit it constructed, and before power is applied, I check for continuity of each and every net, particularly power and ground. They do have to be isolated from one another, and they do have to be peresent everywhere they're required.
I don't see how anyone could get into trouble in this way if he has a rigorous approach to circuit construction. That's where the lesson-to-be-learned is found in this thread. RE |

| Not useful? Overrated?? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |

| A path to GND would still be needed | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| paths to GND might be fatal | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Thanks for the tip | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Rather low ohmic path | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| thanks | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| if that is so | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| P0 - all's well | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Another Thanks | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Richard, I hope you are well now | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| not necessarily for long | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Aware of that! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Isn't this whole thing rather silly? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| good practice, Richard... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Nooooooo... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Newbies aren't rigorous! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| That\'s one place where we can help them! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| still glad I posted this one! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| it's maybe better | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| It's a silly mistake, but one we've all made! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
